'Lap Dances for Haiti' Raises More Than Cash
Marilyn's on Monroe, a Toledo, OH "men's entertainment club," donated their $10 cover charge to earthquake relief and dubbed it "Lap Dances for Haiti." They say they Saturday's striptacular netted $1000 to help the Haitian people.
The Associated Press has the story so it's everywhere today. Of course it is. "Lap Dances for Haiti" is hilarious. Also, the manager the club is named Soprano, so it's got that going for it too.
Only the Toledo Blade article mentions one little fact that kind of takes the awesome out of the story: Lap dances are illegal in Ohio. For reals.
If fact, the lady you see on the left is one of four dancers arrested almost one year ago in the Buckeye State for allegedly offering $5 lap dances. To see all the dancers (and one woman arrested for allegedly letting a dancer touch her breasts) click here.
First off, who are the lucky officers who got that undercover assignment? The "let's go out for a drink and see if women take off their clothes in a nightclub" beat sounds like a cakewalk to me. Secondly, $5 lap dances? Such a bargain! What would they charge if it was legal, 25 cents?
